Halo and its Franchise

Since the original drop of the first Halo game, it has been an Xbox exclusive which brought a significant experience to those playing under Microsoft's gaming console. The later titles from the company, including the latest Halo Infinite, saw a wider release for users to platforms like the Microsoft Windows PC, Steam (via Windows OS), and the Xbox Cloud Gaming. 

With an iconic lore and immersive story, alongside top-notch action and shooting experiences, Halo saw massive success in the gaming world, which also led to its live-action adaptation for the streaming platforms. In 2022, the world saw the arrival of the Halo series on Paramount+, centering on a story that was well within the gaming universe, but took on a fresh perspective on the franchise.

The Halo series proved to be a significant adaptation and many were pleased to see the beloved Spartans, the Silver Team, Master Chief, and other entities from the game make it to the big screen. Now, Xbox wants you to experience more of Halo via the Game Pass Ultimate tier with the free downloads now live, also offering a 1-month free trial on Paramount+ for streaming the next Season.
